Supporting the Library

---

Thank you for your interest in supporting the Milan Public Library!  There are a number of ways in which you can support the library through financial donations, which are described below. 

The Library benefits from the income from four Endowment Funds. As with any endowed fund, the available monies are only those generated by the income on the fund's principle investment each year, which can vary considerably.

• Carol A. Mohr/Margaret Walls Memorial Fund (supports  equipment, furnishings, books and other items in support of children and youth services).
• Mildred N. Sheehan Fund (supports the acquisitions of books and videos).
• Millard and Marie Phillips Fund (supports program development, Genealogy/Local History resources, and expansion of technological tools for staff and community).
• General Purpose Enrichment Fund (supports general improvement of the library's furnishings and equipment for public use).

Do you have a special interest that you'd like to support?  Designated donations may be made to support specific areas, such as programming for children and/or adults, specific collections (music, large print, nonfiction, video, etc.).  

Thank you for considering donating materials to the Milan Public Library.  We are happy to give you a receipt for tax purposes.
We can accept the following items in good to excellent condition:

1. Youth materials (all types).
2. DVDs. Audiobooks, Music CDs.
3. Books published in 2017 or later.

The Library subscribes to a variety of magazines for all ages.  You can help the library stretch its budget by 'adopting' a magazine for a year for $28 (average subscription cost). Magazines may be sponsored in honor or memory of an individual.  

For more information on any of these funds/donation options, please contact Susan Wess, Library Director, at susan.wess@milanlibrary.org or 734-439-1240.  Thank you!
